Stranger On A Quiet Street Songtext / Lyric

On a cold and windy morning

Said goodbye to my old friends

They were hangin' around the corner

They were stayin' till the end, till the end



On the other side of midnight

I was lookin' for a place to stay

And one thing's sure for certain

I ain't never goin' back again, no more



The streetlights looked so pretty

As they spread into a town

I was lookin' for another sundown

And my head was spinnin' round and round

Round and round






Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Lookin' through the eyes of danger

Lookin' at the all-night dancer

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Never takin' all the chances

Of a stranger



As I walked into the main street

Saw a crowd across the square

And I heard a guitar playin'

And I saw you standing there, standing there



Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Lookin' through the eyes of danger

Lookin' at the all-night dancer

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Never takin' all the chances

Of a stranger



Distant bells they started ringing

Somewhere far off in the night

And the place was full of loneliness

That disappeared from sight



Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Lookin' through the eyes of danger

Lookin' at the all-night dancer

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Never takin' all the chances

Of a stranger, lookin' through the eyes of a stranger



I am never going back

Never going back

Never going back

Never going back...
